It was just before ten pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting talking about the recent golf rankings, ready for the 8th job to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in South Runcton and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover hire car. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could reach her quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in the event that you may have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made from a blend of high-purity urea and ionized water (67.5%).It is certainly devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will likely lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in South Runcton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the normal troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue South Runcton - South Runcton Wrong Fuel Drain

Last week a young man called us soon after his Hyundai broke down along a road in South Runcton. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel motor and managed to drive so far as the street before having to halt. It was still in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who resides locally, reached him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 1 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
